What's your method?
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
I heard that some stuff can actually scratch the blade or mess up the finish somehow. Which ones should I be aware of, and any other tips as to not cause myself grief?
I find a good tooth paste works well, make sure it's a paste and not gel. a smokers toothpaste has a little extra grit. put a little bit on a towels and rub away.
But doesn't using toothpaste on a knife give it a tendency to bite your hand?
Yep. I use the green ScotchBrite side of regular kitchen sponges on my extremely-reactive Sab paring knife, which is well pitted and scratched anyway. After hulling just a couple of pints of strawberries it will take on a deep -- almost black -- patch across the middle, which is less than pleasing to the eye.I find the Scotch-Brite too abrasive, no matter the grit. It even leaves tiny scratches on my stainless Henckels.
Pensacola Tiger (or anyone else with scratches) - now that you have those ScotchBrite scratches on your blade, what is your method of removing them - ie. polishing off the scratches?
